Every Hello
Every hello has a goodbye It's just a matter of when Nothing is forever Family, friendship, nor love It loses to time... ...distance... ...death... Even these bring new joys New welcomes New homes New life As I tell you goodbye I know the journey leads you To another hello
Do you dwell on your failures
On the words you never saidÂ
The actions you wish you tookÂ
What would've changed
Would you still have a broken soul
Would you have found the way to heal
The scars of failure are you
And I love you, who you are todayÂ
Unfinished
Do all the paths lead to the same destination Leaving choice a fallacy and the tolls of life a predetermination Your teachings say we get no choice in this game played by gods This pain, love, endures only to end up at gates, or not, isn't it odd My decisions today then would have no impact on tomorrow The mental anguish is then only a stake that is borrowed If all the paths are a slight variation of the same life Does that mean I get no comeuppance when I cause others strife? If free will doesn't exist Why hope for better when you didn't choose to do all this Don't burden yourself with hoping for a better life, you could have It's all the same challenge, even if on a different path I fundamentally oppose that all has already been written My dreams, my hope, heart, will, must create roads unpaved and unfinished
How
How can I get you to smile By relieving the stress from the day Massaging the last bits of pain Fading into the twilight
How do I return your love Make you feel how I do Calm like the eye of a storm Special, happy, unique
How may I please you Finding the path to your shine The road to your kiss The way to your bliss
How will we be complete Foraging forward in chaos Between the lost universes Finding hope when lostÂ
This Night
Tell me what you want To make you feel at ease You say, "do whatever you please"Â
Tell me what you need To take you to that place You say, "keep up with my pace"Â
Tell me what to do To make the dance complete You say, "move it right to the beat"Â
You got me touching on your body Making me want to leave this party Lead me this night, I shall follow Making you sing till early morrowÂ
Tell me what you want To make you take this hand You say, "here's the control, take command"
Tell me what you need To make you lose control You say, "never been that high before"
I know what to do To make your devilish grin You say, "is this really how our story begins"Â
You got me touching on your body Making me want to leave this party Lead me this night, I shall follow Making you sing till early morrowÂ
We put the impossible on love The exception to every rule It's supposed to last forever It's supposed to fill all needs But it's not special, it's not a cure
It's a plant; it needs care Not only from one But from at least two Light, warmth, food, water A balance to survive Too much of one, it withers Turns the wrong color and may die If they notice soon enough It will bounce back, strong
Love is not special It's not an exception It's for you to grow Water and cherish And bloom in the right spot Of your life
Tell me what you need when we kiss What you want on the road to bliss In this moment and in the future I will do what it takes to meet yaÂ
Tell me what you need to rise What you want when you close your eyes In the sun, the clouds, or the dark I'll relight that long-lost spark
Tell me what you need to feel What you want when you need to be real In your touch, your space, your mind I will be your peace for you to findÂ
The Capitalist Dream
I find myself empty No hope, no light, no empathy A shell of what was once human Looking for that next purchase To feel something A drop of life Taken from me through this screen From 40 hours in a cubicle Consumption blood Mail route veins Needing a hit of what's new Thrown on a pile on the floor Trash, all of it All of my identity Looking for an escape When there's none Hopelessness Despair The capitalist dream Is a dystopian nightmare
North Korea
You will learn to vote, but only for a select few will actually take the time to care. We bring you trust, hope; Democracy, a gift like Christmas time, there will be pretty trees and children smiling. You wonât have to care about people like them, the homeless, we will bring them aid We love you, donât worry about money, you can use ours. We are friends, you know go outside and picnic, play some ball, hide ânâ seek after dark. I know your countryside has landmines, it will make it a true game of âSurvivor,â yes you will get our TV shows too.Â
We want diplomacy, into your land Open your ports, be a friend We will show you what is right Voting, speech, debating all night We will bring you health As you become over filled with joy Donât worry about the mess we made Weâll clean up that void And by we, I donât mean me, like that time I got you stuck in a tree, yes I told your mommy. Your state will love our programming. They will teach you something different than Marx. A nation once again whole, because of wonderful video games, look at our youth, they donât go outside. No more death Peanut butter Will fill that roll Imagine children With Pop-Tarts Captain Crunch You win with us
We will win through words Donât listen to the whistle in the background That park on fire wasnât our fault now The children burning outside make a wonderful pink They shine like your future Be proud our weapon took them out Thatâs going to be a new mall now That is what democracy is about
Nuclear holocaust, this is how we respond to you, we love peace. Iraq wasnât a fluke, those people are happy now. Just like I was happy when I beat Legend of Zelda, stupid game. But thatâs not important, your state is born, we know communism doesnât really work. But we like it better than democracy. A nation torn; brings cheer and war.    Sing with me: Never mind, I forget the words. Death smiles over The babyâs breathe Radiation brings Green trees Beautiful life Take the pain Walk it off
You donât need your knees Baby please, this is how you get piece Each bullet cost you 50 cents a peace Dictatorship is no war crime Democracy is, it picked the fight If you voted, you get to complain If not, you lose, itâs their rain
Ballistic missiles Into the windows Economies shatter Paper wonât matter Their homes do WE hate them Glory and true Diplomacy is false Leave us weak And yourself too strong Hereâs a warning Death blooms
Flowers die in red light People drown in white heat Nations collapse in blue clouds Disease is great this time around You choke, you live, only to die tonight How lovely is that, babies grasping for air Do I look like I give a fuck? Not for you guys, you started this So tonight, I hope you live to see them die We donât love you Good night, America.Â
Feels kind of relevant again.
N*gga in a Suit
Even if you in a Benz, You still a n*gga in a coupe Even if you on stage, You still a n*gga in a suit We get called the slur And want a simple apology Itâs unintentional, so itâs ok Itâs just a word, suck it up Forget the history Forget the weight Forget the moment Forget the outrage Be the bigger person
⊠againâŠÂ
And forget the world sees you No matter what As subhuman Less than Youâll always know Always be reminded Even if you in a Benz, You still a n*gga in a coupe Even if you on stage, You still a n*gga in a suit
Lie in the truth Let it sit In silence  Let it breathe Gasp for life Look it in the eye And feel it Explore it Understand its needs Hold it in captivity Or let it free?Â
Let us wander into the sea
Float on into eternity
Happy as we float away
Going to a happy placeÂ
Hold my hand, come with me
The destination is lovely
Look to the sky, take it inÂ
Enjoy the moment withinÂ
The here and now will be gone
Floating in the waves of love
In this sea our hope grows strong
Maybe I'm overthinking As I contemplate But the path isn't easy It isn't straight And as I walk I wonder Am I walking with you Behind you Or being a hindranceÂ
Is there a better path Is there a way for more Is there a road to less What is enough What is too much What is too littleÂ
Maybe I'm overthinking As I contemplate What is this path And where does it lead Does it matter When you're alongside me
Paths to Happiness
There are many paths to happiness And none are correct We often mistake our path as right When for you, it is wrong The road often splits with switchbacks And loose gravel, false trails Sometimes the goal changes And the peak isnât the summit You must decide whether to keep going Or if this plateau has the best view No one knows the answer And you might eventually be wrong But another path shall open And happiness will be yours to find
Metamorphosis
No one said it would be easy But did it have to be this hard I'm still trying hard to recover From the newest of life's scars
Looking blank in the cold mirror Do I recognize who've I become Tell me why does it feel so alone On this journey I have long begunÂ
Like metamorphosis Stuck in a cocoon I've broken down in this dark room In this metamorphosis One day I'll emerge To shine like the light I wish to be
No one said it would be easy Thanks for making it less hard You push me to go a bit further When life has come apart
I still don't know who I am But I now like who I see The mirror doesn't have to lie I'm now a better version of me
Like metamorphosis I finally emerged Shining like the light I have seen And from metamorphosis I have emerged Becoming more of who I wish to be
Small Town King
Small Town King With his All-American love Rules his kingdom With the most iron of fists He follows pages in his book The one he's never read But he knows best For you and yours and theirs He never dares leave Because he'll be declared A mere pawn, a fallacy Unbeknownst to him He's just that For the kingdom crumbles From all his choices But he cares not And does not comprehend That a ruler of rumble Is just a rock on the mountain
